Fireplaces and wood-burning stoves cause minimal pollution when they are maintained properly and are used with dry, seasoned firewood. However, if they are not well maintained or made of poor quality wood the smoke generated by them contains fine particles (known as particulate pollution) which can cause irritation to the lung and other organs. It also contains carbon monoxide as well as toxic air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation of the lung and lead to asthma attacks, wheezing, coughing and irritation of the lungs. It can also lead to cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Some people fear that using a wood-burning stove could contribute to climate change, but this is not necessarily true. The combustion of wood produces energy that is carbon neutral. Through the life of a tree, it absorbs carbon dioxide and when burned the absorbed carbon is released back into the atmosphere.

Because the wood is harvested locally, this reduces the amount of pollution emitted when it is transported. It is also important to select high-quality woods that are seasoned and seasoned as they will give an extended and even burning time than softwoods.

A wood-burning stove equipped with a hybrid unit or catalytic converter could be the most efficient low carbon solution for heating. These units re-ignite gasses and particles released from the initial combustion in a subsequent phase by mixing them with superheated air. They then funnel the remaining gases and particulates through a catalytic combustor for a third and final combustion, further reducing emissions to a level that is well below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are made to burn fuel with the greatest efficiency that is possible. This results in the release of minimal particles into the air when burning wood. The stove's air management system controls the intake and exhausting of gases, ensuring that the combustion process is conducted in a controlled, sealed atmosphere. It also regulates the flame's height to maximise heat output and minimize emissions.

Smoke from poorly combusted timber has fine particulate pollution and harmful air pollutants such as carbon monoxide, as well as other dangerous air pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as well as benzene and formaldehyde.
